Nokia Lumia 925 to hit PH August 19, retails at PHP 23,500

The Nokia Lumia family in the Philippines welcomes another member as the Lumia 925 enters the local market.

The Lumia 925 is engineered with Nokia’s powerful PureView technology with an 8.7MP camera with Zeiss optics. It also features Nokia’s Pure Motion HD+ technology with Optical Image Stabilization and 1080p video recording.

Also onboard is a feature that “chops out” moving objects or people from your images, eliminating those pesky photo bombers. With that out of the picture, the Hipstamatic apptakes care of posting your photos to your social media accounts.

Since it runs Windows Phone 8, Lumia 925 users not only get to enjoy the Metro UI, but also get easy access to Microsoft Office and SkyDrive.

Nokia furnishes the Lumia 925 with a polycarbonate body and stylish aluminum, with a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon chip clocking inside it. The display is a 4.5-inch AMOLED screen protected by Gorilla 2 Glass. The screen features ClearBlack technology and sunlight readability.

The Lumia 925 is wireless-charging enabled and comes in white, grey and black.

The Nokia Lumia 925 will be available locally starting 19 August 2013 for PHP 23,500 at Nokia Stores and at Nokia Solutions Partners. It will also be exclusively available to Smart subscribers, and will come FREE when bundled with the Smart Unlimited Data Plan 1500, with a 30-month lock-in period.

WHAT’S INSIDE

There’s barely two months left to get your holiday gifts in order. With the rush of the season—including deadline buzzer beaters for company shutdowns, more vehicle standstills, greater mall foot traffic, and fleeting daylight—it can be daunting to decide what to give you and yours. Don’t worry. As always, we’ve got your back with our November Holiday Wishlist issue.

We’ve got the scene’s latest toys in our Parade and Wishlist section, all sure to put a smile on the faces of techies and non-techies alike. If you’re looking for something that’s been under the microscope, hop on over to the GadgetsLab and see whether we’d recommend the the Intel Core i5-6600, Adata Premier SP550, HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 3776, Lenovo Yoga Book, Philips 246E7, and LG V20 as sock stuffers. If you’re feeling a bit more generous with your gifts, we also reviewed the Honda City 1.5 E CVT Limited Edition and 2015 Yamaha Bolt in our Mobility pages.

But maybe you don’t want to give physical things. Maybe you believe in experiences. Then check out our coverage of Lyon, France; the Azar video chat app; Deus Ex: Mankind Divided; Gears of War 4; The Ransom Collective musicians; and the Sandaya Yakiniku and Guevarra’s restaurants; just to name a few.

And to help sizzle the cold year end breeze, we’ve got the comeback king, Motorola, in our pages, accompanied by the dynamic duo of James Reid and Nadine Lustre. With all the above and more, this is definitely the season to be jolly.
